Here we go again. Another update failure is plaguing Windows users, with Microsoft forced yet again to issue advice on user workarounds to bypass a failure. There\u2019s no fix available, and it affects a wide array of Windows PCs. The issue dates back to August \u2014 any update since then may trigger the failure on your PC.<\/p>\n
\u201cWindows 11\u2019s recent updates have been nothing less than a disaster,\u201d Windows Latest<\/a> says. The password failure follows the WinRE failures<\/a> and multiple emergency updates<\/a>.<\/p>\n ForbesIf You Get This WhatsApp Message, Your Phone Is Being HackedBy Zak Doffman<\/a><\/p>\n Microsoft admits<\/a> that after updating your PC, \u201cyou might notice that the password icon is not visible in the sign-in options on the lock screen. If you hover over the space where the icon should appear, you\u2019ll see that the password button is still available.\u201d<\/p>\n It\u2019s there \u2014 it\u2019s just hidden. Microsoft \u201cis working to resolve this issue and will provide information when it\u2019s available.\u201d For now, you just need to hunt out the password icon.<\/p>\n Windows Latest says \u201cMicrosoft\u2019s workaround for the missing password icon on the Windows 11 login screen is actually funny. The company really wants you to guess where the password icon is\u2026 and if you are still unable to find it, try clicking randomly on the lock screen. It\u2019ll trigger the password field\u2026 hopefully.\u201d<\/p>\n You likely won\u2019t need this password icon often if you sign in<\/a> with your Windows Hello PIN. Unfortunately, when you do need it, you may find it fails to appear. <\/p>\n
